Vin got a reaction from Thor in Replacing centurion D5 gate motor battery with Life P04 batteryThanks Thor. Good to know. I have been looking for lithium batteries for a while now and most places are out of stock due to the recent load shedding. I wouldnt mind giving this a try for my gate motor. The price is also quite good compared to the Blue Nova

Vin got a reaction from Sidewinder in Evacuated Tube retrofit system 150l geyserI just spoke to another installer now advertising a 15 tube retrofit system on FB and he assures me the 15 tube system will be fine in Gauteng for winter on a 150l geyser. He said the systems are reaching around 50 degrees during the day at the moment. Conflicting information from two different installers. I should look for a 16-18 tube setup 🤣

Vin got a reaction from Supergeek in Replacing centurion D5 gate motor battery with Life P04 batteryDue to all the load shedding my gate motor batteries are taking a beating. I put in a Forbatt gel battery a few months ago and its already on its way out. I am considering replacing the battery with something like this :https://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/559987360/Hoselect_LifePo4_LA127_Lithium_7_2ah_12_8v_Rechargeable_Battery.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwquWVBhBrEiwAt1KmwtN88odwCkn8ORAUQlxg8c1W_3Ty-9WzCaf0qnp3uShalDSbxBECohoCYi8QAvD_BwE
is this even possible? Has anyone has done this before. Can the standard built in charger charge the lithium battery?
